How old is being gay? This week we chatted with our friend and yours, Jordan! They talk to us about one of their greatest passions: queer history. We discuss how queerness in history is often suppressed or erased and Jordan gives us a brief timeline of queer history in the U.S., plus they recite lil’ gay excerpts from letters written by Eleanor Roosevelt and Alexander Hamilton.

Content warning for use of the “f” slur at 30:29-31:55 when the origin of the word is described.
